Common Misconceptions about Compilers
Well, the truth is there's a lot more to JITing than what I wrote in the article, just because JITing didn't fit the vibe of the rest of the article that well.
Anyway, yes theoretically you can. Recently folks creating Codon (https://github.com/exaloop/codon) did it for Python using a cool form of type inference.
That said, I don't think any mainstream JS VMs do it. Most recent work I know in AOT compilation for JS seems to use some profile-guided optimization and not static type inference. For example, look at the architecture at 6:38 and also discussion about types here: https://youtu.be/pVhcyKf3efM?t=469). Something similar seems to be true for the project described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T3s6-C38JI
The story seems to be a bit different for hopc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY1EXHQ6IeQ

Python running on the Dart VM?
I found at least one project that managed to compile python AOT to LLVM https://github.com/exaloop/codon. Even if LLVM is more expressive than Dart Kernel, that should at least be some evidence that this might not be too impractical.

Codon: Python Compiler
Their fannkuch benchmark seems to be a bit dishonest. They claim an enormous perf delta on https://exaloop.io/benchmarks.html but fannkuch uses factorial a lot and they define factorial with a very small (n=20) table: https://github.com/exaloop/codon/blob/fb461371613049539654c1...
Disclaimer: I've worked on several Python runtimes and compilers, but I'm not by any means out to get Codon. Just happened across this by accident while looking at their inline LLVM, which is neat.
